Just got my new Proto 2000 0-6-0 Steamer with DCC and Sound this afternoon. Sweet little engine! But since I am using the cheapo Bachmann EZ Command, not sure I can turn the headlight on? Directions say use F0 or FL function to turn the lights on and off. I don't have F0 or FL. Any ideas?
Thanks, DON
Hi Don,
push the button for the loco you want. Press the yellow function button (the light of the # loco will blink). push the F10 button to turn on/off light. Push the F1 button for bright/dim light, press yellow function button again. You should be lighting your way and off and running.
This is how the Bachmann EZ COmmand works lights. I know it works on Bachmann locos, not sure about proto, but should.
Hope this helps

After long and careful thought, they have convinced me. I have come to the conclusion that they are right. The aliens did it.
Don,
Yep, function button...address "10" button...function button should turn on the headlight. (There's a lightbulb icon next to or underneath the address 10 button.) When you reverse the engine, the rear light will come on also.

Beautiful!!!!!!!!!!!!!! F10 works. I love this little engine!
Thank you guys!! and TOM it looks like its going to be awhile before I get my SW-7 back from BLI. Apparently its there busiest part of the year for repairs.
While I am here, another querstion pops to mind. Should these new engines be oiled or do they come from the factory already oiled.
Thanks again, DON
Well, Don, at least you have a locomotive to play with while you wait for your SW7.
I've found the Proto 2000s to be adequately lubricated when they arrive. Unless you audibly hear a squeak of some kind, I think you'll be fine. If you want, you can "lightly" lubricate the drive rods and linkage with some Labelle oil. I have yet to lube my 0-8-0 and it runs like a swiss watch.
